Well, this is a lower order polynomial. I do know how to do the more complex stuff, but when it comes to time trends, simpler often tells a simpler story.

As for the Markov stuff...I'm actually interested in coupled time series. But I had to wrap my head around how to do it. I think I figured it out today. That's what Memorial Day is for. Geeky fun.

OK that's it. You guys are just scaring me!

I'm kidding. I really just wanted to add my gratitude for all the charts and graphs. I'm a complete math loser so the visuals help. Although saying Memorial Day is for making graphs and working with data? That just breaks my heart.

Thanks for all the analysis - its really interesting -given that you are using stats software of some sort and have the data, maybe you can please calculate something - the various autocorrelation for each soap for each season - I've never seen anyone test to see if people really are less loyal over time or more loyal , where loyal is implied by propensity to watch this week, given they watched last week... you dont have to if you dont wanna, i know its kinda boring :P Thanks for all the analysis anyway :)

What on earth is it going to take to get JP fired, good god, the show had a 2.4 during the strike and moving up, then the week she came back, down it went, and down every week since then, and now back to the all time low, FIRE THAT HACK! :angry:

ATWT's drop is only -.1 from the previous week. I think it's a bloomin' miracle considering the state the show is in and the dumps Y&R and B&B are taking.

Don't ask me how we can be +230,000 from AMC in total viewers, and yet tied with them in HH. (I'm not asking for an explanation---it makes my head hurt. It just sucks.)

    • They've talked about having staff at the Dupree house, like Rowena the chef. I just don't think we've seen them.  
    • Really an excellent point. I'm worried about Derek but he's not working. The Duprees being too good somehow ... well, if they say it instead of be it, okay yes, I would worry but as long as they keep on being good, geeze, that's something to celebrate, not worry!!!  Party on?!
    • I blame Mitch.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
